you have to take your time

When I arrived at Miao Qizhi's head teacher's office, there were two children standing outside the office.

One was Miao Qizhi, and the other was about the same age as him. Wei Yan guessed that they were classmates. Both of their faces were red, swollen and bruised to varying degrees.

When Wei Yan passed the two of them, he stopped and stared at Miao Qizhi.

Miao Qizhi stood against the wall, with his hands behind his back, his head lowered, his eyes down, Wei Yan stopped in front of him without looking up.

The child standing beside Miao Qizhi raised his head, his face was rounder than Miao Qizhi's, with one eye swollen and squinted, it was really funny.

Wei Yan twitched his lips, sighed inwardly, and walked into the office.

"Hey, Qizhi, who is that?" The child approached Miao Qizhi and asked in a low voice.

"……uncle."

"Eh?"

"It's the younger brother of my father's apprentice."

The child froze for a moment, apparently puzzled by this relationship.

"Where's Auntie?"

"They found someone to take care of them." Speaking of mother, Miao Qizhi lowered his voice.

The child obviously knew the reason, so he stopped asking and remained silent.

It took a while for Miao Qizhi to raise his head. The sky outside the corridor was cloudy, iron gray with light-colored clouds moving quickly, and a heavy rain was coming.

Wei Yan came out of the office and said goodbye to the teacher with a smile. Miao Qizhi heard him say, "Thank you again teacher, we will pay attention to it in the future."

Then a big hand appeared in front of Miao Qizhi's eyes, the fingers were slender and strong, bent, the owner of that hand said, "Let's go."

Miao Qizhi raised his eyes carefully, Wei Yan raised his chin at him, "Let's go, go home."

The child pursed his mouth, his eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to hold the big hand.

Wei Yan led Miao Qizhi to the end of the corridor. Behind him was Teacher Yang's voice, "Huang Lize, when will your parents arrive?"

The child named Huang Lize answered in a ruffian voice, "Hey, Teacher Yang, you know they are busy with work." There is no fear of parents at all, which is the unique carefree taste of young people.

Wei Yan smiled lightly and quickly when he heard it, and lowered his head and asked, "You and him fought five or six people together, how is the battle going?"

Miao Qizhi looked up at Wei Yan, bowed his head again, and whispered, "I can't beat it."

"That's because you're not working hard enough. You're not good at this fight. You need to practice more."

Miao Qizhi looked at Wei Yan strangely again, feeling that Wei Yan was not made to be a parent.

"Soft ones are afraid of hard ones, hard ones are afraid of horizontal ones, and horizontal ones are afraid of death. Haven't you heard of it?"

Miao Qizhi pursed his lips, he must have heard of it before.

Wei Yan led him all the way, and earnestly warned Miao Qizhi, "Do you know what is the most important thing to protect in a fight? Oh, the root of life, indeed, there is another one - the face. Look at you, your face is messed up. How did you hide it from your parents?"

"Also, if you fight in the future, fight outside the school gate. There will be no major problems. The school will not care about it and will not call the parents. If you lose, no one will see it. If the other party loses, no one will see it. Everyone clap Ass go away."

The two walked all the way to the school parking lot, and Miao Qizhi climbed into the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.

Wei Yan sat down, but didn't start the car, turned his head to look at Miao Qizhi, saw a big bloodstain on his forehead, frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his forehead, "Does it hurt?"

Miao Qizhi sat without moving, just shook his head slightly, sourness surged up, he turned his head and stared at Wei Yan, the water quickly accumulated in his eyes, blinked, and then fell.

Wei Yan rubbed the child's hair, "Tell me about anything in the future, and use this method as little as possible."

Miao Qizhi retorted crying, "You just said to practice more."

Wei Yan patted the back of his head, "It's serious, silly boy!" But he was still thinking about how to explain this to Wei Xi.

Haoxuan didn't call Wei Xi at first, Wei Yan thought about it, and asked Miao Qizhi, "How do you know my phone number?"

Miao Qizhi took out his phone, "Uncle Wei saved both of your numbers in the first day."

"Why don't you call Wei Xi?"

Miao Qizhi lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm afraid that Uncle Wei will scold me."

"Oh, I won't swear? My name is Uncle Wei?"

"... Uncle Wei is your brother."

It turns out that no matter how young a child is, he knows how to handle the weaknesses of adults.

Wei Yan still wanted to refute a few words, but after thinking about it, he gave up, thinking that children nowadays are becoming more and more difficult to take care of.

"Uncle Wei..." Miao Qizhi read aloud, but did not continue.

Wei Yan knew what he was worried about, "I already know the reason, I'll tell him when I get home, and you just have a good attitude and respectfully admit your mistake."

Miao Qizhi looked at Wei Yan gratefully.

"Don't look at me like that. I told you that my brother has a bad temper. Don't think I'm joking."

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan pressed the start button, turned the steering wheel, and left the campus.

Wei Xi promised Miao Qizhi yesterday that he would pick him up from school. He kept remembering that he had accelerated the progress of the work in hand since the morning, but there were two classes in the afternoon, so he couldn't go to elementary school too early.

After noon, he was going to call Wei Yan, expecting him to pick up the child on time, but unexpectedly, Wei Yan called first, telling him that Miao Qizhi was at home, and that he himself missed work for half a day.

"what happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing, you'll know when you come back."

Wei Yan was sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with Wei Xi, Miao Qizhi was watching worriedly, Wei Yan waved his hand to signal him to study.

Miao Qizhi stood still.

Wei Yan dealt with his brother on the phone, stood up and pushed Miao Qizhi to the dining table, knocked on the table and pointed to Miao Qizhi's schoolbag, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

The child had to open the schoolbag.

Satisfied with his actions, Wei Yan walked to the balcony of the bedroom.

As soon as Wei Xi came home, he first looked for Miao Qizhi, "Qizhi!"

The first one to come out was Wei Yan, looking at his brother with a smile, "Hey brother, you're back, it's very early."

Wei Xi pushed him away, "Where's Qizhi?"

"Ah, Wen Shu."

Wei Xi glanced at the textbooks spread out on the dining table and then at Wei Yan, his eyes were already stained with sternness.

Wei Yan knew that Wei Xi was Nilin, he couldn't make up nonsense, and he couldn't fight.

But now with Miao Qizhi, Wei Yan always touched Wei Xi's bottom line intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother..." Wei Yan immediately restrained his smile, and said with some irrelevant words, "It's nothing, there is a small situation in the school, just..."

"Shut up." Wei Xi interrupted him, went around and walked straight to the bedroom.

Wei Yan followed a few steps closely and shouted, "Brother, brother..."

Miao Qizhi lay on the door and listened carefully to the noises in the living room. When he heard footsteps approaching quickly, he hurriedly backed away. The bedroom door was swiped open by Wei Xi. Wei Xi stared at Miao Qizhi with a frown, and immediately understood come over.

He asked impatiently, "What happened?"

Wei Xi's expression was stern and frightening, Miao Qizhi was so nervous that he could only shake his head, and kept backing away tremblingly.

"Brother." Wei Yan called behind Wei Xi, but Wei Xi didn't look back, "Shut up."

Wei Yan had Miao Qizhi in his heart, and he ignored his brother, "Brother, I've already told him. Don't be scared..."

Wei Xi turned his head suddenly, his eyes seemed to shoot cold arrows, which made Wei Yan tremble.

Wei Yan peeked at Miao Qizhi, the child bit his lip, the tears in his eyes didn't dare to fall.For Wei Yan, Wei Xi can be said to have a lot of prestige, Wei Yan didn't dare to make a big move for a while, he swallowed, and just called out pitifully, "Brother..."

Wei Xi took a deep breath, and looked at Miao Qizhi again. The child flinched under his gaze. He turned around and stretched out his hand to grab Wei Yan's ear, and asked viciously next to his ear, "What's going on?" Then go to the living room.

Wei Yan bent over in pain, stumbled and followed Wei Xi, begging for mercy, "Take it lightly brother..." He didn't dare to stop half a step.

Wei Xi dragged him to the living room before letting go, kicking Wei Yan's thigh.

Wei Yan was kicked and staggered, turned around quickly to protect his back, while preventing Wei Xi from kicking again, he stretched out his hand to rub the painful place, and put the other hand between him and Wei Xi, "Brother, it's really nothing, he's here It’s just a little friction between the school and the classmates.”

"That's all?" Wei Xi raised his eyebrows, pointed to his forehead, and gestured for the injury on Miao Qizhi's forehead, "It's just that? How old is the child?"

Wei Yan wrinkled his nose, "Children also know how to sprinkle salt on people's wounds. I have seen it before."

Wei Xi fell silent.

Words are like knives, rumors are like halberds.

People are always slandered mercilessly by their unchangeable origins.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have fought."

Miao Qizhi leaned against the corner, looked at the two confronting each other in the living room, and apologized.Such a young child, after being forced to leave his close relatives, also knows that the two people in front of him will not lose the sincerity of their close relatives.

However, there was still timidity in the eyes looking at Wei Xi.

Wei Xi waved to him, and Miao Qizhi walked over with his head down.

The man bent down and kissed the top of his head.

"never mind."

These words were as light as a sigh, but they grabbed Xiao Miao Qizhi, he moved forward to approach Wei Xi, buried his face in Wei Xi's waist, and started to cry softly.

In order to meet the plot requirements of a certain friend, the heart is empty and the brain is empty

Why should I write that— well, long! ! !

Saturday morning.

Because of the continuous rain last night, the morning was even more serene.

Wei Xi opened the door, holding three bags of soy milk in one hand, and deep-fried dough sticks in the other.

He lowered his head and stood in the entrance garden to change his shoes. When he looked up, he saw Wei Yan and Miao Qizhi entering the bathroom together.He raised his voice and said, "Hurry up and wash up, I bought salted soy milk and fried dough sticks."

Miao Qizhi's small head appeared beside the bathroom door, with two sticks of unconvincing hair sticking out ridiculously on top of his head.

Wei Xi urged him, "Hurry up, it'll be cold in a while."

The little head shrank back obediently.

Wei Yan yawned in front of the mirror, scratched his hair, reached out to take off two towels, squeezed two handfuls of water, and handed a small one to Miao Qizhi.

Miao Qizhi next wiped his face against his face, then reached out and handed it out.

Wei Yan took it, and lowered his head to check the corners of Miao Qizhi's eyes, disgusted, "The eye is still smeared." He wiped it off with a towel.

"Hmm..." Miao Qizhi's head was rubbed back.

Wei Yan put down the towel, then gave Miao Qizhi the toothbrush, and Miao Qizhi caught it with one hand and went to get the children's toothpaste with the other. The two of them squeezed toothpaste into their own toothbrush together, and put the toothpaste into the storage cup together.

Strawberry mint and green tea mint waft through the space.

After a while, Miao Qizhi reached out for a water glass, Wei Yan bit his toothbrush, turned on the faucet and gave him water, watched him gurgling a few times with the water wrapped in his mouth, and then picked him up to spit water into the sink.

Wei Yan put down the child, picked up the water glass to signal if he wanted it, Miao Qizhi shook his head, Wei Yan spit out the foam in his mouth, took a sip of water in his mouth and grunted left and right, picked up a towel to wipe off the foam at the corners of Miao Qizhi's mouth.

Gulu was enough, he spit out the water, dripped some water in the palm of his hand, pressed Miao Qizhi's messy hair on top of his head, and combed it with his fingers a few times.

"I'm sorry, we don't have a comb at home, so you just make do with it."

Miao Qizhi laughed, but he didn't mind, and pulled his own hair.

"Okay." Wei Yan patted the child's head.

The two walked out one after the other.

Miao Qizhi walked to the dining table and greeted Wei Xi, "Good morning, Uncle Wei."

Wei Xi put down his phone, nodded, "Morning." He admired Miao Qizhi's politeness in his heart.

When he tilted his head and saw that Wei Yan had buried his head in drinking soy milk, Wei Xi stretched out his hand and patted the top of Wei Yan's head lightly.

Wei Yan bit the fritters and raised his head, his eyes widened, "Huh?"

Wei Xi sighed, comparing things with goods, you have to throw them away, and comparing people with others, you have to die.

"Go climbing later, don't eat too much." Wei Xi picked up a deep-fried stick and broke it in half and handed it to Miao Qizhi.

Miao Qizhi nodded obediently.

Fresh fried dough sticks, fragrant fried cakes.

Miao Qizhi took a bite of the fried fritters, sighed in his heart, it was so delicious, he lowered his head and took a sip of salty soy milk, the saltiness was just right, he swallowed it, and sighed softly in satisfaction.

The Wei brothers, who were eating with their heads down, looked at the child, looked at each other tacitly, and then lowered their heads again.

Not long after they finished their breakfast, Jiang Yueguang knocked on the door.

It was Miao Qizhi who opened the door.

If you don't see the person, you will see the belly first.Jiang Yueguang's height of 1.8 meters and weight of [-] were like a wall to Miao Qizhi.

The child took a step back and raised his head, "Uncle."

"Yo kid."

Jiang Yueguang, dressed in sportswear, walked into the room while saying hello.

"Here? Where are the stars?" Wei Xi saw him coming in alone, asked about Jiang Yueguang's sister, and said, "And, where are the clothes?"

"Xiao Nizi's wings have grown hard, and I can't control it anymore. She said that she won't go home this week for the final exam. Let's ignore her." Jiang Yueguang waved her hand.Handing out the bag in his hand, he greeted Miao Qizhi, "Hey, Miao Qizhi, right, here are your clothes."

Miao Qizhi walked over but didn't answer, his eyes followed Wei Xi.

Wei Xi nodded, "Here you go, go hiking and wear sportswear more comfortably."

Only then did Miao Qizhi take it, hugged it into his arms, and whispered thank you to Jiang Yueguang.

When Miao Qizhi went to change clothes, Jiang Yueguang looked at Wei Xi teasingly, "How does it feel to have another child?"

Wei Xi slapped Jiang Yueguang's big face away and clicked his tongue in disgust.

Wei Yan helped Miao Qizhi change into clothes in the room, and the clothes were loosely worn on his body. Wei Yan looked at the size at the collar—S size, "You are really thin, eat more in the future. Don't grow into Jiang Fat That's it."

Miao Qizhi flicked his sleeves and pursed his lips.

Wei Yan went out of the room and took two backpacks, and carried one and the other to Wei Xi, "Let's go, it's still early, so we won't be stuck in traffic if we drive there."

The sky was bright, and the rising sun was looming in the clouds.

Wei Xi and his party meandered forward in the mountains. The mountains were no different from flat lands, and there was still a mist hovering around them. The humidity was heavy, and the air they breathed was also wet and moistened into the lungs.

The mountain on the outskirts of the city has just been developed, and its popularity is a little weak. It is difficult for Wei Xi and the four to meet other climbers when walking on the mountain road.

Miao Qizhi and Wei Yan fell behind Wei Xi and Jiang Yueguang.

The child followed Wei Yan step by step. When Wei Yan saw the child slow down, he also slowed down a few steps, and when the child noticed it, he followed him a few steps.

With such a speed, the two of them couldn't keep up with the two main players marching in front.

Miao Qizhi felt that his hands were sticky, and he scratched in the void with both hands.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yan asked.

Miao Qizhi spread out his small palm and then squeezed it tightly, "sticky."

"The humidity in the mountains is high, it's like this, get used to it." Wei Yan said, looking up at the backs of the two distant figures in front of him, and said, "Come on, you hold my backpack strap, and I will take you with me, we will catch up with them."

Miao Qizhi looked at the backpack strap handed over to Wei Xi, who was getting smaller and smaller, and Jiang Yueguang, who was twice as big as Wei Xi, and reached out to grab the end of the backpack strap.

"Let's go." Wei Yan stretched out his hand to push Miao Qizhi, and ran forward in small steps.

Running and running, one big and one small were driven faster and faster by the speed, Wei Yan's steps were big, but the frequency was not high, in order to catch up with his constant speeding up the frequency of his steps, Miao Qizhi tugged on Wei Yan's strap at first, Then just let go and run wildly.

Wei Yan turned back while running, Miao Qizhi ran his legs quickly, the watermelon hairstyle was shaking briskly on his head, his bangs were blown up, revealing his full forehead, Miao Qizhi called out, "Uncle Wei, wait for me!"

Wei Yan ran backwards for a while as if showing off his skills, and then turned around and ran forward when he was done, always controlling the speed higher than Miao Qizhi.

Miao Qizhi was not convinced, and ran wildly with all his might.

When Wei Yan turned his head again, Miao Qizhi was less than a body behind.

"Good boy!"

The two chased after each other and gradually caught up with Wei Xi and the others.

Hearing movement behind him, Wei Xi stopped and turned around. Seeing two people rushing forward desperately, he shouted at Wei Yan, "Wei Yan! Why are you running so fast! It's only halfway up the mountain, and I haven't reached the sprinting area. Such a lot of physical exertion is waiting for me. Are you going to really climb up later?!"

While speaking, Wei Yan had already rushed in front of his brother, and Wei Xi gave him the back of the head.

Wei Yan groaned and hid to the side, then quickly bent down to catch Miao Qizhi who ran up madly.

"I've caught you!" Miao Qizhi jumped into Wei Yan's arms excitedly.

With one stroke of his arms, Wei Yan picked up the child and turned it around half a circle.

Miao Qizhi giggled.

"Okay, I really think I'm an iron man." Wei Xi said.

"How about we go to the front platform to rest for a while, look at the sweat, don't get dehydrated." Jiang Yueguang suggested tightening the backpack on his body.

Wei Yan just put Miao Qizhi on the ground, and when he raised his head, his brother gave him a hard look.

Miao Qizhi also saw it, and gently pulled Wei Yan's cuff.

Wei Yan lowered his head and blinked at him, mouthing silently: It's all right.

As they walked further, the sound of insects suddenly became louder, the clouds were swept by the wind and moved quickly, and the sun flickered, passing through the twigs of the trees, and falling spots of light on the four of them.

Miao Qizhi pulled Wei Yan's backpack strap again, his eyes sparkling.

Today is another day to spoil little Miaomiao Qizhi

Eight

When Miao Qizhi was picked up by Wei Xi, the elementary school had already been out of school for a long time.

"Isn't Uncle Wei coming?" Miao Qizhi walked down the street holding Wei Xi's hand.

"Recently, they have taken on a bigger project and may be busy for a while. I will pick you up during this time."

Miao Qizhi nodded.

Wei Xi looked down at him and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Miao Qizhi rubbed his stomach subconsciously, but he didn't realize how hungry he was. He found that the first thing the Wei brothers considered was always hunger.

"It's okay." Miao Qizhi replied.

"That's better to buy something, it will take longer for us to go back by bus."

Since Wei Xi's school is too far away, the family only bought a car for Wei Yan to commute to and from get off work.

The two walked hand in hand to the bus stop, passing by a small vendor of fried potato chips, Miao Qizhi stared at it several times as they passed by, the potato chips were fried in a frying pan, and the taste mixed with several kinds of seasonings was extremely exciting The mouth secretes saliva.

Wei Xi pulled him back to the vendor and bought a copy.Every time Wei Yan came to pick him up, he bought snacks for him from time to time, handmade cones, egg cakes, glutinous rice cakes, egg rolls, etc. After buying them, he warned Miao Qizhi not to tell Wei Xi that Wei Xi was not old Love to buy street food.

He has been stationed at the Wei brothers' home for the past few days, and today is the first time Wei Xi has come to pick him up.Miao Qizhi clasped both hands, recited Wei Yan's warning, wanted to eat but felt timid, raised his eyes to look at Wei Xi.

"Eat." Wei Xi poked two small bamboo sticks from the takeaway box and fed them into his mouth, not showing any dissatisfaction.

The food was tempting and fragrant, and Miao Qizhi no longer struggled, and chewed and chewed contentedly with the whole potato stick wrapped in it.

Wei Yan came home after nine o'clock and saw Wei Xi at the dining table guiding Miao Qizhi to do his homework.

"Still studying?" Wei Yan said as he walked towards the sofa, and lay down on the sofa with his knees half bent.

Wei Xi looked up at him and then lowered his head to write and draw on the manuscript paper, "Have you eaten yet?"

Wei Yan raised one arm and fingers to make an OK, and then quickly lowered it.

Wei Xi didn't ask any more questions, and gave Miao Qizhi a serious lecture.

After a while, Wei Yan half-raised his head and said to Wei Xi, "Brother, help me draw."

Wei Xi didn't raise his head, "How much is it?"

Wei Yan propped up half of his body and blinked, trying to come up with a price. "Two... two hundred?"

"Are you serious that I don't even understand the market after a few years of quitting?"

Wei Yan couldn't hold it anymore, and lay back on the sofa as if discouraged, thinking about the company's project in a daze, working overtime these days, and feeling a little bit exhausted.

Wei Xi explained the good topic to Miao Qizhi, but he didn't hear Wei Yan say anything more, thinking that Wei Yan was very tired and fell asleep, so he got up and walked over, reaching out to touch his forehead out of habit.

Wei Yan was in a daze at first, but he woke up as soon as Wei Xi's hand touched him. He opened his eyes and smiled at Wei Xi.

"Stupid?" Wei Xi squatted down, hooking the corners of his mouth.

Wei Yan grabbed his wrist and moved it to his mouth, kissed Wei Xi's palm lightly, then pulled his finger to kiss again, suddenly he turned to look at Miao Qizhi, fortunately the child was serious about writing the question.Only then did he turn his head back, tightly wrapped his fingers around Wei Xi's fingers, put them near his mouth, and rubbed his lips against the back of Wei Xi's hand.

Wei Xi was not annoyed, let him alone, feeling that it was almost done, he pulled out his hand and pinched Wei Yan's cheek, "Is it over for you? Get up."

Wei Yan stood up obediently, knowing that Wei Xi would be impatient if he continued to act presumptuously.

"Hurry up, why are you dawdling? Didn't you want me to draw a picture?" Wei Xi walked back to the dining table and sat down, reminding, "If it's later, I'll be asleep."

Hearing this, Wei Yan stood up, smiled openly, and went to the bedroom to bring two notebooks and put them on the dining table.

Fortunately, the dining table is big enough to not force Miao Qizhi off the table.

Miao Qizhi cleverly cleaned up the textbooks on the table, leaving only a Mathematical Olympiad exercise book and manuscript paper.In order to participate in the competition, the amount and difficulty of the test questions continued to increase, and the rest time was also postponed. When I woke up in the morning, I had huge dark circles under my eyes.Wei Yan laughed that he was doing a job for decades at a young age.Miao Qizhi also laughed, but had no complaints.

Isn't life like this?Not everyone can act arbitrarily.

Wei Yan explained the project situation to Wei Xi and helped Wei Xi tidy up the computer, smiling obsequiously, "Brother, can you practice your hands with a bird's-eye view?"

Wei Xi glanced at him, but did not refute, but asked, "What did you draw?"

Wei Yan replied, "There are no pictures, I will make the text."

Wei Xi raised his hand and slapped him hard on the thigh.Wei Yan bared his teeth in pain and didn't dare to say anything.

He clicked on PS and asked, "Come on, is the source file uploaded?"

Wei Yan endured the pain and nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, it's all on the network disk."

Miao Qizhi peeked at the two people opposite and smiled unconsciously.

Wei Yan immediately noticed, "Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Miao Qizhi quickly stopped laughing, and lowered his head even lower, but it's a pity that the curvature of the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"stop laughing?"

Wei Xi searched for files on the online disk, and said coldly, "Very free? Go out for a few laps?"

Wei Yan fell silent.

Wei Xi downloaded the file and crackled on the keyboard.

After a while Wei Yan began to chatter, "Look at my brother's hand speed is not the same as before."

Wei Xi straightened up, raised his head and said to Miao Qizhi, "Qizhi, I have a task for you."

Miao Qizhi opened his eyes wide.

"If Wei Yan talks again, you throw him on the street."

After hearing this, Miao Qizhi covered his mouth and laughed.

Wei Yan was not afraid at all, and said in his heart that if he wanted to throw it away, he would throw it away.

When Wei Yan was just picked up by Wei Xi, she was always worried that Wei Xi would be in a bad mood one day, or if he was in a good mood, he would throw herself back on the street again.

From the beginning, he took care of all the things he could do, and once he was done, he retreated to the corner, afraid that Wei Xi would be annoyed if he kept looking at him, or that Wei Xi would suddenly realize that he was a fool and would not be able to do anything. He didn't hesitate to stuff this oil bottle into the trash can, wishing he could practice invisibility and minimize his sense of existence.

Sometimes when Wei Xi finished his homework, he turned around and couldn't find anyone, thinking that Wei Yan was playing hide-and-seek with him every day, but when he called Wei Yan, the little boy crawled out of sight.

At that time Wei Yan really looked like a dog.

Wei Xi was still a boy at that time, he had to go to school during the day, and when he came back at night, he saw that Wei Yan looked like a well-trained pet, and helped him get his slippers and schoolbag. Wei Xi occasionally praised him in a good mood, and Wei Yan's eyes lit up , grinning, but he didn't dare to laugh too exaggeratedly, his heart was so sweet, his eyes followed Wei Xi.

Wei Xi’s cooking is not bad, but it’s not much better. When he’s alone, he can make do with it. Otherwise, Jiang Yueguang’s family can eat casually. But after Wei Yan came, Wei Xi felt more and more that his cooking skills should be improved. practiced.

Wei Yan has never been picky, eats what he cooks, wears what he gives, he regards Wei Xi as a god, this god gives him a place to settle down, feeds him, clothes him, and keeps him warm.

At that time, Wei Xi looked at Wei Yan who was eating hard as soon as he was on the table, and often fancied that the food he cooked might reach the peak, but it was not the same thing after eating two bites, and Wei Yan never finished his bowl. Called Tianfan, sometimes Wei Xi asked him, are you full?

Wei Yan pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes fixed on the bowl in Wei Xi's hand.

Wei Xi couldn't understand the boy's silent expression at that time, so he nodded after asking, and then returned to eating.

Wei Yan didn't dare to say that it wasn't enough and didn't dare to interrupt Wei Xi's meal, but just wanted to take a look.

In the first few years, he told himself not to ask too much every day.

Be the most sincere follower of Wei Xi.

Wei Xi turned his head and stared at Wei Yan, seeing that he was showing no fear or even complacency, stretching out his hand to snort the back of Wei Yan's head vigorously, and said helplessly, "I owe you a beating."

-------------TBC

nine

Wei Yan has tasted the consequences of working overtime for a week, and even had to put off hiking on weekends until the next week.

On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Wei Yan had his first solid sleep in a week.

When Wei Yan woke up in the morning, he opened his eyes and went through the projects completed this week in his mind. He turned over and thought about the projects that needed to be delivered after the festival. Enough rolling, sitting up, pulling hair, only feeling hungry.

Wei Yan walked out of the bedroom, there was no one in the living room, only Miao Qizhi was standing by the dining table reading a book.

"Where's my brother?" He said as he approached the dining table and chairs and sat down.

Miao Qizhi put down the book in his hand and said, "Uncle Wei and Uncle Jiang went to practice in the morning." The child walked into the kitchen and put the rice dumplings left for Wei Yan into the microwave oven, and scooped them out of the stewing pot on the stove. A bowl of porridge.

Wei Yan listened to Miao Qizhi talk about morning exercises, subconsciously raised his wrist to look at his watch, found that he didn't wear it and went to look for his phone again, the screen showed ten o'clock.

"What morning exercise? It took so long..."

There was a ding sound from the microwave oven, Miao Qizhi took out the zongzi, peeled off the leaves, sprinkled the white zongzi with sugar, and put the cured zongzi in another bowl.

Wei Yan muttered a few words and sat back at the table, just as Miao Qizhi brought out the rice dumplings and porridge.The young man unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and gnawed on the cured rice dumpling, wrapped a mouthful and chewed, after a while he felt the taste, "Is this brought by Fatty Jiang?"

Miao Qizhi nodded, "Can this be eaten?"

Wei Yan's cheeks were bulging, and he tried hard to swallow a large piece of bacon in the rice dumpling. The bacon was the old bacon smoked by Jiang Yueguang's grandfather in the countryside. The pieces were shiny and fat but not greasy. There is glutinous rice that is soft and sticky to the teeth, Wei Yan smashed his mouth hard after eating it.

"Of course I can. I used to go to Pang Jiang's house if I couldn't get rid of the pot at home. Your Uncle Wei went out to play and earn money. If you don't come home for a few days, I can only go to Pang Jiang's house to live. You can tell when you taste what Auntie makes."

Wei Xi's parents were steel workers in the Metallurgical Experimental Factory. Both died in a factory accident that shocked the whole country. At that time, Wei Xi had not yet graduated from primary school. Li decided to raise the orphan until he reached adulthood, paid the tuition fees every year, and also paid a pension that was considered a huge sum at the time.In the factory, his parents' colleagues would sometimes take care of him, but Wei Xi was young but not in a hurry, and passed junior high school safely by himself.

Before graduating from high school, the factory collapsed. In the wave of layoffs in the 90s, state-owned enterprises were restructured one after another. The metallurgical experimental factory was the first to be forced to close down. It was disbanded and reorganized and classified into a group company. Everyone seems to have forgotten that there is a young man named Wei Xi who is waiting for the factory to pay the tuition fee when learning new technology.

In addition to the textbook fee, there is also a high annual school selection fee. In the nine-year compulsory education, the primary school and the middle school are all staff schools affiliated to the factory. The high school is the provincial key point in the city. He only received a very small first-class scholarship, and it was only a drop in the bucket in front of the school selection fee.

The leaders of the factory have already found their own way and disappeared, and the colleagues have closed their doors and moved out. The fusion of the environment has made the originally harmonious circle no longer what it used to be. Only Jiang Yueguang's family still communicates with Wei Xi, but there is a son and a daughter waiting for him at home. As for the expenses, no matter how much they collect, they can't get Wei Xi's share.

Wei Xi took out the pension that he had frugally spent in these years to make up for it, and it was considered to wipe out a year's worth of money. It just so happened that Wei Yan was brought home at that time. How will he wipe out the money for next year?

Barely survived the third year of high school, Wei Yan told Wei Xi that he was eight years old the first time he saw him, but the family was destitute, and Wei Xi had to go out to play and earn money, even so, Wei Yan did not go to school until he was nine .

Wei Yan didn't mind telling Miao Qizhi about his predicament when he was a teenager.

Miao Qizhi listened carefully and forgot to read the book.

Wei Yan stuffed a few mouthfuls of the remaining zongzi into his mouth, and after finishing the porridge, he sighed in satisfaction, looked at Miao Qizhi and asked him, "Why are you standing all the time?"

Miao Qizhi hummed softly, lowered his head and muttered, and finally said, "Uncle Wei said that you must finish this page of questions before you can sit down." Spin up.

"Did he kill you?" Wei Yan leaned back in the chair and looked at the child without any surprise.

"Well... no, it's not fierce..." Miao Qizhi thought of Wei Xi's reprimand before, and it wasn't too fierce, but his eyes were particularly frightening.

"No? That's fierce."

Miao Qizhi didn't speak, it was acquiescence.

"Tell you that he has a bad temper, right? What's your expression? Did I say something wrong? Hey, don't tell my brother that I'm going to arrange him later."

Miao Qizhi finally couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Fortunately, they are not biological brothers. If not, they should really split up and check whether the genetic sequence is mutated.

Wei Yan stood up and took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen to wash, and went out to look at Miao Qizhi's exercise book. The book was circled by red pens in several places, and the formulas and problem-solving steps were written. Wei Yan looked at it carefully. , a little surprised, "Now the fifth grade Mathematical Olympiad is this difficult?"

Miao Qizhi carefully calculated on the manuscript paper. He has been calculating this problem for a long time and has not solved it.

"You took a detour like this," Wei Yan said, pointing to the steps on his manuscript paper, "It would be troublesome to use the method in the sample question on this question, and there is obviously a small condition that can be used in this question."

Miao Qizhi raised his head and opened his mouth slightly.

Wei Yan took the pencil in his hand and rewrote a few steps to solve the problem on the manuscript paper, "Here, let's do the math again."

Miao Qizhi recalculated, this is a method that Wei Xi did not mention before, and it was exactly as Wei Yan expected, "Wow..." The child was so pleasantly surprised.

"There's no need to force the method, understand?"

Miao Qizhi nodded quickly and looked at Wei Yan with admiration.

Wei Yan straightened his waist and brushed Miao Qizhi's bangs smoothly, "worship me?"

Miao Qizhi did not deny it and nodded vigorously.

Wei Yan patted the child's head, "But my brother is even better, he taught me all my abilities."

Miao Qizhi looked at him with wide eyes.

Wei Yan simply sat down, took the exercise booklet, and started to calculate another problem. While writing, he said, "My brother beat me to go to school on the first day. I'm not as obedient as you. I just do the problem when I say it." .”

Miao Qizhi giggled.

When Wei Yan was nine years old, because of Wei Xi's hard work, he was already well-known at home, so it didn't take much effort for Wei Xi to entrust someone to register Wei Yan, a black household. Everyone on the road knew the gold medal in front of Ding Ge The thug Wei Xi is notoriously desperate.

It can be said that Wei Yan didn't appreciate Wei Xi's chance of enrolling in exchange for his life. On the first day of school, he and Wei Xi had a big fight. Yi ran out and bumped directly into Jiang Yueguang who came to visit.

"Oh, oh, what's wrong with this? Why did you hit him again?" Jiang Yueguang stood firm and supported Wei Yan.

Wei Yan hid behind Jiang Yueguang, relying on Jiang Yueguang's stocky figure since childhood, shouted at his brother, "I don't want to go to school!"

Wei Xi chased him out, his chest heaving violently with anger, panting, "Am I discussing with you?! You have to go if you want to go or not! You brat won't get on the house for three days! Get out of here!" come over!"

"I won't go!!" Wei Yan grabbed Jiang Yueguang's clothes tightly, only daring to show half of his head, but in order to increase his determination, he shouted louder.

"Jiang Yueguang, get out of my way! Are you making trouble?!" Wei Xi glared angrily, gnashing his teeth, shouting, beating and being beaten outside for the past year, which made this person on campus look extra social He turned into a man, more or less small wounds could be seen on his arms, and his eyes became more and more fierce. His handsome appearance made these eyes even more powerful, and his whole body carried a frightening power.

Jiang Yueguang swallowed her saliva, if she hadn't followed Wei Xi to be the overlord in the campus since she was a child, she would not dare to face this person directly at this time.He prefers
